The forum will automatically censor swears, but running up against a line of asterisks tends to annoy people more often than not. Pretty much do as Astinus said--warn at the start of the chapter--but you can also cheat your way around the swear filter by tagging one letter of the swear word in a...

XD I know! The first time I used it I was like '... woah'. So now I have a vice. I usually only set the difficulty to 'forgiving', though, mostly because I have allergies and it's really hard to stop and use a tissue if you're worried about losing what you've just written. >_> Stupid nose...

*stops lurking in the shadows long enough to raise hand* I really shouldn't be starting a whole new fic given how many half-finished ones I have lying around, but I do have one in mind and I wanna get the certificate legitimately at least once instead of bluffing it by upping other stories'...

Part 4: How To Draw The Line Between Going Crazy And Going Black Marcus stared. The sky was blue and clear that day, and he gazed up at it with unconscious intensity. He’d never really paid much attention to the sky; it had never been important. Now, though, it was one of the few stable things...

Part 3 of The Rookie's Handbook is up.

Part 3: What To Do When Mutant-Bearing Strangers Come To Call April, 1991 Marcus cursed. He glared at the book that had just missed his foot by an inch before bending down to pick it up, still clutching a stack of volumes in his other arm. Muttering in discontent, he shoved the books one by...

... *jumps in* How often do you use death in your fanfics? Just as necessary, either to the plot's logic or a character's development. I killed off a major character in Heart of the magma, but have no deaths at all planned for its chaptered sequel Choice and consequence. The taming of the...

Part 2 of The Rookie's Handbook to Conspiracy Theory is up.

Part 2: Five Reasons Why Mutant Rats Don’t Belong On A Military Base ‘Rats.’ ‘Rats?’ ‘Rats.’ The server nodded. ‘Dunno how they did it, but they got into the corn, the carrots, God only knows what else.’ It took all of Marcus’s willpower not to slap a hand over his eyes. Third day in a row...

Ta for the effort, but ... 'twilight' is a noun which refers to a specific time of day, as in 'Twilight came at five o'clock'. 'Twilit' is an adjective which indicates that a thing is lit as if by twilight--in this case, the horizon. Also, could you tell me where I've forgotten the apostrophes...

... Oh. I remember this thread. Got a new fic out: The Rookie's Handbook to Conspiracy Theory. Enjoy.

A/N: Okay so, I'm back? ^^; Though only SPPf people will prolly know me. Trying PC again; maybe this time I'll be able to stick with it this time. \o Hi~ This fic is a four-shot, rated M for excessive and severe swearing; if God's name being taken in vain disturbs you, then you should probably...

First of all, don't be sorry for the long post. XD It's better than a short post, and there are quite a few people here who tend to talk a lot in one sitting, myself included. :3 So don't worry about it. Now, names--how you get them can vary and they can be real buggers when it comes to getting...

Okay, so I don't think anyone else is gonna review, I may as well get on to replying. XD *is lazy* Marilyn: Well, thanks. ^^ But I'd love to know what you thought was good about it, and why. Alter Ego: That's okay, I appreciate the review anyway! ^^ I'd think the thousands of tons of...

Do you use romance in fanfiction often? Is it a main theme or is it a side plot? Is it limited to human characters only? Not often, no. I'm not a fan of romance, so it doesn't come to me automatically; if I want it to be in there I generally have to think about it. That said, since it's a part...
